Back Cover Copy
Think of it -- beer at 12-20 cents a bottle, and the best beer you've ever tasted, tailored to the exact quirk of your tongue. This is the promise of M.R. Reese. And he delivers on that promise. Follow his instructions, then flip the cap off a bottle of your own brewing and taste -- you'll never want to go back to those store-bought varieties.

It's easy, too. Three hours at the most for five gallons of beer. The hardest part, Reese writes, is waiting four to six weeks for the beer to reach perfection.

You only need a few items of equipment. Some you'll have in your kitchen; others are inexpensive and available in many stores.

With the nineteen recipes you can brew top-grade beer and ale -- American, Canadian, or European style, from light summer beers to the heavier Irish stout -- and learn to vary recipes to get exactly the pleasing taste that you want.

M.R. Reese, member of a brewing family from before Prohibition days, tells the secrets of brewing he's learned in years of making his own favorites.

Reader Reviews
This book by M.R. Reese gives a very elementary approach to homebrewing. While it supplies the reader with recipes, the book only gives detailed instructions only once. And the author expects the reader to flip back to the page [with the instructions] each time. Plus the instructions for making the brew are very standard or generic. Yet as any home brewer may well tell you that each beer with different ingredients require the brewer to alter the direction ever so slightly. Each recipe is different, requiring different instructions.
